A photo of our bedroom during the middle of the moving process in Strasbourg, France

My life has been a bit topsy-turvy for the past couple of weeks.  My husband, daughter, and I made a continental leap recently, moving from Strasbourg, France, to southwestern Pennsylvania in the United States.  The actual move went smoothly, although in the middle of the process we were all very tired and thought we would never get everything done.  But, like all moves, everything on the list eventually gets crossed off.  Then,  almost suddenly, we are waking up in a new place.

Our daughter enjoyed the change of routine.  While my husband and I organized, cleaned, and moved furniture, she got to sit on a mattress on the living room floor, eating French pastries, and watching cartoons.  We would have done pretty much anything to keep her happy so we could get our work done.

In this photo, she eating an escargot aux raisins.  This tasty pastry is cinnamon flavored and dotted with raisins.  Its spiral shape looks like a snail, hence the name escargot.

Nickelodean Junior is shown on French TV as well as American.  I love hearing the original English speaking characters converse in French.

With a toddler in the house you never know what you will find when you move.  This is a photo of our daughter's favorite doll sitting with some toys that were found under various pieces of furniture.
